ATWT Celebrates 12,000 Episodes!

On May 6, 2003, As the World Turns proudly aired their 12,000th episode! In honor of this historic occasion, SoapCity asked your favorite ATWT stars, "Since you've been on the show, what line does it feel like you've said 12,000 times?"

Terri Colombino (Katie): What do I say a lot? Anyone's name. We always say people's names like five times in a scene. I hate that.

Michael Park (Jack): "Carly." The name "Carly," I think I've said it 12,000 times. And I'm happy to say it. I'm happy to say it 12,000 more times.

Ellen Dolan (Margo): "What?" It is my least favorite thing in the world to say. It doesn't make anyone sound very bright. Or, "I know how you feel."

Mark Collier (Mike): "I'm sorry, Molly."

Bailey Chase (Chris): "I'm sorry."

Colleen Zenk Pinter (Barbara): "I'm sorry."

Eileen Fulton (Lisa): "Let's get married."

Peter Parros (Ben): "Why don't you want to marry me?"

Lamman Rucker (Marshall): "It wasn't me!"

Anne Sayre (Mitzi): Oh, that's easy. "Rose -- don't."

Scott Holroyd (Paul): "Leave me alone, Mom!" I think I've said that at least 11,000 times.

Jessica Dunphy (Alison): All last summer it was "Lucy loves Aaron, Aaron loves Lucy. Alison loves Aaron, Aaron loves Lucy." The same thing over and over. The same schemes over and over. I was like, "Didn't I just say that a week ago?"

Peyton List (Lucy): "What are you saying? What do you mean? You'll never accept Aaron!"

Martha Byrne (Lily/Rose): "We're a part of each other." I've said that to Holden probably 12,000 times over the years.

Helen Wagner (Nancy): I think it's "Good morning." And it's still a nice thing to say.

Kelley Menighan Hensley (Emily): God, I know there is one, because I pretty much complain about it every week. I say, "How many times have I said that?" but I can't think of what it is off the top of my head.
